Contact Arc Phenomenon
What precisely is an electric arc?  How does it ignite and what causes it to Extinguish?  Hoe does an arc affect the life of the relay contacts?

 

Relay Contact Life
Relay contacts are available in a variety of metals and alloys, sizes and styles.  There is no such thing as a universal contact.  The relay user should select contact materials, ratings, and styles to meet, as precisely as possible, the requirements of a particular application.  Failure to do so can result in contact problems and even early contact failure.
